Miranda and Diego Godin are strong players too and given that Atletico have conceded seven less goals than Real in La Liga this season, they can argue for their inclusion.

It's a difficult choice again and both pairs complement their partner well, so we don't want to mix and match.

Left-Back: Marcelo Makes It a Brazil and Madrid Double

Marcelo gets the nod over Emiliano Insua for sure, but if Filipe Luis hadn't spent a few weeks out injured it would be a close call.

Brazil manager Luiz Felipe Scolari usually chooses the Real star rather than his namesake to fill the slot for the national team, but the latter is the better defender.

On Saturday, given that Filipe's only appearance after injury so far was last week's Osasuna mauling, Marcelo is likely to be the better pick this weekend.

Midfield: Koke, Modric and Alonso Are Our Intrepid Trio

We're going 4-3-3 so there's a strong trio in here. The ones who make the cut are Real's Luka Modric and Xabi Alonso, and Atletico's Koke.

We'll explain why, but you know how good these three are already and it will be just as interesting to see who didn't make it.

Modric is in the form of his life, running games and making those who doubted him at the start of his Madrid career eat humble pie.

Xabi Alonso is the same, careful, confident ball player he ever was and, along with Modric, will sit deeper.

Koke, meanwhile, is the gem in Atletico's midfield. A fine passer of the ball and energetic, he will be a pain for Ancelotti's side to deal with on Sunday.

Hardworking duo, former Chelsea man Tiago and captain Gabi, add clout to the Atletico midfield and help Simeone execute his game plan well but individually they don't have the sheer talent of these three.

Angel di Maria and Asier Illarramendi miss out for Madrid. Both are strong options and would certainly make our bench.

The former is not a natural central midfielder but thus far has performed well there.

Strikers: Bale, Ronaldo and Costa Would Be Simply Incredible

What a front line this would be. On the right, Gareth Bale. The left, Cristiano Ronaldo, and in the middle, Diego Costa. The three would be free to swap positions to their hearts' content.

They are three of the highest-rated players in world football and their inclusion does not need justification.

Jese is unfortunate to miss out; the youngster has made a real impact of late and some may have given him the nod above Gareth Bale.

Karim Benzema too, is enjoying his best spell for some time.

Who's on the Bench?

In charge? We'll take Carlo Ancelotti. Diego Simeone has arguably done the more impressive job with his limited funds, but Ancelotti is a born winner and would know how to manage such a talented team.
